DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following description of the exemplary embodiments of the present application, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, includes various details of the embodiments of the application to facilitate understanding and are to be construed as exemplary only. Accordingly, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications may be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present application. Also, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted from the following description for clarity and conciseness.

First Embodiment

As shown in FIG. 1 , the present application provides a wakeup indicator monitoring method, comprising the following steps:

Step S101: acquiring M pieces of audio data of a device to be monitored, wherein M is a positive integer greater than 1.

In the present embodiment, the wakeup indicator monitoring method relates to the technical field of artificial intelligence, and particularly relates to the technical field of audio testing, which can be widely used in many scenarios, such as end-to-end acceptance of various new types of intelligent voice interaction devices and online monitoring for wakeup functions.

In actual use, the wakeup indicator monitoring method according to the embodiment of the present application can be executed by the wakeup indicator monitoring device according to the embodiment of the present application. The wakeup indicator monitoring apparatus of an embodiment of the present application can be configured in any electronic device to execute the wakeup indicator monitoring method of an embodiment of the present application. The electronic device may be a server or a terminal, and is not particularly limited herein.

The device to be monitored may be an intelligent audio device, which may also be referred to as an intelligent voice interaction device, for example, the device to be monitored may be an intelligent speaker device or an intelligent recording device, etc.

The intelligent voice interaction device refers to a device which can wakeup by voice, for example, a user speaks a “beep” to the intelligent voice interaction device, and the intelligent voice interaction device can enter an operation mode in response to the voice. At this time, the intelligent voice interaction device is awakened, and accordingly, “a small beep” can be referred to as a wakeup word of the intelligent voice interaction device.

The M pieces of audio data of the device to be monitored refer to audio data of the device to be monitored after starting, and the audio data may comprise data of a first wakeup word received by a user for waking up the device to be monitored, and/or data generated after the device to be monitored wakes up.

In a general case, a device to be monitored can comprise a plurality of modes, for example, a sleep mode and an operation mode, etc.; when the device to be monitored is in the sleep mode, a user can wakeup the device to be monitored via voice data comprising a first wakeup word; accordingly, the device to be monitored is woken up, and can be switched from the sleep mode to the operation mode, and at this time, it can be referred to as one wakeup of the device to be monitored.

However, due to various factors, the device to be monitored may be awakened by mistake in the sleep mode, for example, the device to be monitored wakes up in response to other voice data of the user which does not contain the first wakeup word of the user waking up the device to be monitored, and for example, the device to be monitored wakes up without any symptoms, i. E. Without receiving any voice data, which may be referred to as a false wakeup of the device to be monitored. The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to monitor a wakeup indicator of a device to be monitored, wherein the wakeup indicator can be a wakeup rate, so as to monitor the wakeup performance of the device to be monitored, and perform device acceptance or product development.

Each time the device to be monitored wakes up, audio data received and generated during the switching of the device to be monitored from the sleep mode to the operational mode may be stored, generating audio log data. Accordingly, M pieces of audio data of the device to be monitored can be obtained from the audio log data. Wherein each piece of audio data of the device to be monitored can be data received and generated during one wakeup process of the device to be monitored.

It should be noted that M is a positive integer greater than 1; however, in order to generally improve the monitoring accuracy of the wakeup indicator of the device to be monitored and prevent the fluctuation of the wakeup indicator of the device to be monitored due to the small number of monitoring, generally, the number of M is relatively large, which may be in the order of thousands or tens of thousands, for example, M is 5 thousands or 10 thousands.

Step S102: determining a first wakeup confidence for each piece of the M pieces of audio data, the first wakeup confidence indicating a probability that audio data contains a first wakeup word for waking up the device to be monitored.

In the embodiment of the present application, in a normal wakeup condition, the audio data of the device to be monitored contains a first wakeup word for waking up the device to be monitored, while in a false wakeup condition, the audio data of the device to be monitored generally does not contain a first wakeup word for waking up the device to be monitored.

Whether each audio data of the device to be monitored contains the first wakeup word may be determined by determining a first wakeup confidence for each of the M pieces of audio data. Wherein the first wakeup confidence measure characterizes the probability that the first wakeup word is contained in the audio data of the device to be monitored.

The value of the first wakeup confidence can usually be 0 to 1; in the case where the first wakeup confidence is 1, the audio data characterizing the device to be monitored comprises the first wakeup word; in the case where the first wakeup confidence is 0, the audio data characterizing the device to be monitored does not comprise the first wakeup word; the higher the first wakeup confidence, the higher the probability that the audio data characterizing the device to be monitored comprises the first wakeup word; otherwise, the lower.

A first wakeup confidence of each piece of the M pieces of audio data can be determined via a target model, and the target model can be called a wakeup confidence model, which can be a deep learning model; the M pieces of audio data can be poured into a wakeup confidence model via a program; and the wakeup confidence model can score each piece of audio data for each piece of audio data to obtain the first wakeup confidence of each piece of the M pieces of audio data.

It should be noted that the wakeup confidence model needs to be pre-trained before scoring, and multiple pieces of audio data of multiple intelligent audio devices can be acquired, and a tag of each piece of audio data serves as training sample data of the wakeup confidence model to train the wakeup confidence model. The tag of the audio data comprises a positive tag and a negative tag, wherein the positive tag can be identified by a numerical value of 0, indicating that the audio data does not contain a wakeup word, and the negative tag is identified by a numerical value of 1, indicating that the audio data contains a wakeup word. The wakeup confidence model obtained by the final training can score the wakeup confidence of the audio data of the intelligent audio device to obtain a wakeup confidence score of 0 to 1, and characterize the probability of containing a wakeup word in the audio data.

Step S103: acquiring first audio data with a first wakeup confidence in a target zone in the M pieces of audio data, wherein the wakeup confidence in the target zone characterizes that the audio data contains a wakeup word for waking up an audio device.

The target zone may be predetermined, which may be a wakeup threshold range, in which application scenario the target zone characterizes that the audio data contains a wakeup word for waking up the audio device. The audio device may be an intelligent audio device. That is, if the wakeup confidence of the audio data is within the target zone, the audio data typically contains a wakeup word for the audio device.

In an application scenario where the target zone is a wakeup threshold range, matching a first wakeup confidence of each piece of audio data in the M pieces of audio data with the target zone, and if the first wakeup confidence of the audio data in the M pieces of audio data is in the target zone, then the audio data is first audio data, and a first wakeup word is contained therein, namely, the piece of audio data is audio data under the normal wakeup of a device to be monitored. And if the first wakeup confidence of the audio data in the M pieces of audio data is not in the target zone, the audio data is not first audio data, and a first wakeup word is not contained therein, that is to say, the piece of audio data is audio data which is awakened by a device to be monitored by mistake.

Step S104: determining the ratio of the first audio data to the M pieces of audio data as a wakeup rate of the device to be monitored, where a wakeup indicator of the device to be monitored comprises the wakeup rate.

In this step, in the case where the target zone is a wakeup threshold range, a wakeup rate of the device to be monitored may be determined based on the acquired first audio data, and the wakeup indicator may be a wakeup rate.

Specifically, a ratio of the first audio data to the M pieces of audio data can be determined, and the ratio can be obtained by dividing M based on the number of the first audio data.

In an application scenario where the target zone is a wakeup threshold range, since the first audio data is audio data corresponding to a device to be monitored actually waking up, the ratio can be determined as a wakeup rate of the device to be monitored.

In practical applications, the wakeup rate can be used as the evaluation criteria for product verification, for example, the higher the wakeup rate of the device to be monitored, the better the wakeup performance of the product is, while the lower the wakeup rate of the device to be monitored, the improvement in the wakeup performance of the product is required.

In practical applications, the wakeup rate can also verify the wakeup function of the product version, for example, when the product is developed, the device to be monitored embeds a new software version; in order to verify whether the software version has improved the wakeup performance, the wakeup rate of the device to be monitored embedded with the new software version and the wakeup rate of the device to be monitored embedded with the old software version can be compared; if the wakeup rate has improved, it means that the new software version has improved the wakeup performance; otherwise, it needs to be improved.

In the present embodiment, determining a first wakeup confidence of each piece of audio data in M pieces of audio devices of a device to be monitored; acquiring first audio data with a first wakeup confidence in a target zone in the M pieces of audio data, wherein the wakeup confidence characterizes audio data in the target zone comprises a wakeup word for waking up an audio device; determining the ratio of the first audio data to the M pieces of audio data as a wakeup rate of the device to be monitored. In this way, the on-line audio data of the device to be monitored can be automatically and timely monitored with a high wakeup rate, thereby improving the accuracy of the wakeup rate monitoring. Also, changes in the wakeup rate of each audio device on-line can be monitored in large quantities and quickly.

Moreover, without considering the uncertain factors such as manual annotation, the wakeup rate monitoring has strong operability and saves human resources, and can support the wakeup rate monitoring of different devices, with good reusability and scalability. In addition, unsupervised monitoring can be achieved, and an alarm threshold can be defined to achieve an on-line monitoring alarm.

Optionally, prior to step S101, the method further comprises:

-   acquiring P pieces of audio data of N audio devices and an     annotation result of the P pieces of audio data, wherein the     annotation result indicates whether the audio data contains a second     wakeup word for waking up the audio devices, N is a positive     integer, and P is a positive integer greater than 1; -   determining a second wakeup confidence of each piece of the P pieces     of audio data; and -   counting an zone where a second wakeup confidence of second audio     data of which the ratio is greater than a pre-set threshold value in     the P pieces of audio data is located, and obtaining the target     zone, wherein the second audio data is the audio data with an     annotation result that characterizes it contains the audio data of     the second wakeup word.

This embodiment describes the process of the wakeup rate monitoring means determining the target zone before monitoring the wakeup rate of the device to be monitored. Wherein, the target zone, after being determined, can generally be used multiple times later.

The target zone, which may be a wakeup threshold range, may be determined by evaluating an zone of wakeup confidence that the audio data of each audio device on the line is actually awake. That is, if most of the audio data of a plurality of audio devices contain a wakeup word for waking up the audio device within a certain zone of the wakeup confidence, it means that the audio data corresponding to the wakeup confidence within the zone is the data generated when the audio device actually wakes up.

Specifically, P pieces of audio data of N audio devices on a line can be pulled, wherein N is a positive integer, and generally the value of N is greater than 1. That is, a plurality of pieces of audio data of a plurality of audio devices on a line can be pulled, such as 50, 000 pieces of audio data of a plurality of audio devices on a line.

At the same time, a labeling result of the P pieces of audio data can be obtained, and the labeling result can be obtained by manually labeling the P pieces of audio data or using a speech recognition technique. Wherein the annotation result can comprise two types, the first type can be that the audio data contains a wakeup word, and the second type can be that the audio data does not contain a wakeup word.

A wakeup confidence score can be performed on each piece of the P pieces of audio data by using a wakeup confidence model to obtain a second wakeup confidence of each piece of the P pieces of audio data, and the second wakeup confidence can be used for characterizing a probability that audio data contains a second wakeup word for waking up an audio device.

The annotation result can be counted according to the scoring zone of the second wakeup confidence; if the audio data in the zone where the second wakeup confidence is located and the annotation result thereof indicates that the ratio of the audio data which is truly wakeup is greater than a pre-set threshold value, such as 99%, the zone where the second wakeup confidence is located can be considered as a target zone, for example, the target zone can be greater than 0.7, that is to say, it can be considered that the audio data corresponding to the second wakeup confidence which is greater than 0.7 are all data when the audio device is truly awake.

In the present embodiment, a target zone which is a wakeup threshold range is determined by counting an zone in which most audio data of each audio device on a line is a second wakeup confidence when actually waking up, so that the wakeup rate of a device to be monitored can be automatically and unsupervisedly monitored.

Optionally, the P pieces of audio data are obtained from audio log data of the N audio devices, the audio log data comprising a plurality of audio data, and the acquiring P pieces of audio data of N audio devices comprises:

-   classifying each piece of audio data in the audio log data by L     dimensions respectively so as to obtain L pieces of classification     characteristic information about each piece of audio data in the     audio log data, L being a positive integer; -   determining audio feature information for each dimension based on     the classified feature information of the audio log data; -   respectively sampling in the audio log data based on audio feature     information about each dimension so as to obtain an audio sampling     result of the L dimensions; and -   generating the P pieces of audio data comprising the audio sampling     results of the L dimensions.

In this embodiment, since the audio data of the audio device is strongly correlated with the usage time of the user, the audio data can be classified from the time dimension.

In addition, due to the different usage habits of audio devices in the north and south, the audio data in different regions also have great differences, so the audio data can also be classified from the regional dimension.

In addition, since the version and the kind of the on-line audio device can be various, and the source of the audio data can be various, such as from an intelligent speaker device or from an intelligent recording device, the audio data can also be classified from the source dimension of the audio data.

In order to cover as many usage scenes as possible, taking L as 3 as an example, the L dimensions are a time dimension, a region dimension and a source dimension of audio data. For each audio data, each audio data in the audio log data may be separately classified in a time dimension, a geographical dimension, and a source dimension of the audio data.

If an audio data is strongly related to the user’s usage time, which is the audio data of the user’s morning, the classification characteristic information of the audio data in the time dimension is the audio data of the morning. And the audio data is northern region audio data, and the classification characteristic information about the audio data in the region dimension is northern region audio data. In addition, the audio data is from an intelligent speaker device, and the classification characteristic information of the audio data in the source dimension of the audio data is the audio data from the intelligent speaker device.

Audio feature information for each dimension may be determined based on classification feature information for audio data in the audio log data. For example, based on the classified feature information of the audio data in the audio log data in the time dimension, it can be statistically derived that the audio feature information in the time dimension is that the audio data in the morning and the night are relatively more, while the audio data in the morning and the afternoon are relatively less.

And based on the classified feature information about the audio data in the audio log data in the regional dimension, the audio data ratio of the east, west, south and north regions in the regional dimension can be statistically obtained. Based on the classified feature information about the audio data in the audio log data in the source dimension of the audio data, the audio data traffic under each source can be statistically derived.

Thereafter, sampling is performed in the audio log data based on the audio feature information of each dimension, respectively, so as to obtain audio sampling results of the L dimensions.

For example, if the audio feature information of the audio log data in the time dimension is that there is more audio data in the morning and the night, while there is less audio data in the morning and the afternoon, when sampling, high-frequency sampling can be performed in the audio data in the morning and the audio data in the night, while low-frequency sampling can be performed in the audio data in the morning and the audio data in the afternoon.

However, in the region dimension, the audio data of different regions can be selected according to the ratio of the audio data east, west, south and north regions, so as to ensure that the selected audio data hit more use scenes. For example, the ratio of audio data in the east, west, south and north regions is 1: 2: 3: 4 respectively, and if 10,000 audio data needs to be selected, 1,000 audio data can be selected from the audio data in the east region, 2,000 audio data from the audio data in the west region, 3,000 audio data from the audio data in the south region, and 4 , 000 audio data from the audio data in the north region.

In the source dimension of audio data, the audio data under different sources can be selected according to the same ratio, and if the audio data traffic under a certain source is small, the sampling ratio can be increased, so as to prevent that the number of audio data of a certain device is small and the target zone of wake confidence when a real wake is unable to be effectively evaluated. For example, the audio data can be sampled from the audio data under each source in a ratio of 0.01%, and if the audio data traffic of the intelligent speaker device is small, the audio data can be sampled from the audio data of the intelligent speaker device in a ratio of 1%.

Aggregating the audio sampling results of the L dimensions to obtain an audio data set. In the aggregation, if there is repetition in the audio data of the L-dimensional audio sampling results, the repeated audio data can be eliminated, and finally P audio data of the N audio devices can be obtained.

In this embodiment, L classification feature information about each piece of audio log data is obtained by separately classifying each piece of audio log data in L dimensions, and audio feature information about each dimension is determined based on the classification feature information about the audio log data. In this way, the audio data in the audio log data can be refinedly selected according to the audio feature information of different dimensions, so that the obtained P audio data can hit more use scenes, and then the target zone where the second wakeup confidence of most audio data is located when each audio device actually wakes up can be effectively evaluated to improve the characterizes capability of the target zone.

Optionally, the L dimensions include at least one of:

-   A device type corresponding to the audio data; -   A time period corresponding to the audio data; -   The geographical area to which the audio data corresponds.

In the present embodiment, a device type corresponding to audio data is a source of the audio data, and corresponds to a source dimension of the audio data, and if the device type corresponding to the audio data is an intelligent speaker device, the source of the audio data is the intelligent speaker device.

In this embodiment, by classifying each piece of audio data in the audio log data from several dimensions of a device type, a time period and a region corresponding to the audio data, it is possible to finely select audio data of an audio device can be refined from the audio log data.

Optionally, the determining a first wakeup confidence for each of the M pieces of audio data comprises:

-   Performing feature extraction on target audio data to obtain audio     features of the target audio data, wherein the target audio data is     any one of the M pieces of audio data; -   Scoring the target audio data based on the audio features to obtain     a first wakeup confidence of the target audio data.

In this embodiment, the wakeup confidence model may comprise a wakeup off-line model and a confidence model, wherein the wakeup off-line model and the confidence model may be implemented in series, the wakeup off-line model may be used for performing feature extraction on the target audio data to obtain audio features of the target audio data, and the confidence model may score the target audio data based on the audio features of the target audio data to obtain a first wakeup confidence of the target audio data.

In the present embodiment, an audio feature of the target audio data is obtained by performing feature extraction on the target audio data; and scoring the target audio data on the basis of the audio feature to obtain a first wakeup confidence of the target audio data, so that the probability of the audio data containing a first wakeup word for waking up the device to be monitored can be evaluated.

Second Embodiment

As shown in FIG. 2 , the present application provides a wakeup indicator monitoring method, comprising the following steps:

Step S201: acquiring M pieces of audio data of a device to be monitored, wherein M is a positive integer greater than 1.

Step S202: determining a first wakeup confidence for each piece of the M pieces of audio data, the first wakeup confidence indicating a probability that audio data contains a first wakeup word for waking up the device to be monitored;

-   Step S203: acquiring first audio data with a first wakeup confidence     in a target zone in the M pieces of audio data, wherein the wakeup     confidence in the target zone characterizes that the audio data does     not contain a wakeup word for waking up an audio device; and -   Step S204: determining the ratio of the first audio data to the M     pieces of audio data as a wakeup rate of the device to be monitored,     where a wakeup indicator of the device to be monitored comprises the     wakeup rate.

The purpose of this embodiment is to monitor a wakeup indicator of a device to be monitored, and the wakeup indicator can be a false wakeup rate, so as to monitor the wakeup performance of the device to be monitored, and perform device acceptance or product development.

This embodiment is similar to the implementation of the steps in the first embodiment, except that since the threshold range of the target zone is different, the significance of the indication is different, and therefore the monitored wakeup indicator is the false wakeup rate of the device to be detected.

In particular, the target zone may be a false wakeup threshold range, and in such an application scenario, the target zone characterizes that the audio data does not contain a wakeup word for waking up an audio device. The audio device may be an intelligent audio device. That is, if the wakeup confidence of the audio data is within the target zone, the audio data typically does not contain a wakeup word for the audio device.

In an application scenario where the target zone is a false wakeup threshold range, matching a first wakeup confidence of each piece of audio data in the M pieces of audio data with the target zone, and if the first wakeup confidence of the audio data in the M pieces of audio data is in the target zone, then the audio data is first audio data, and a first wakeup word is not contained therein, namely, the piece of audio data is audio data under the false wakeup of a device to be monitored. And if the first wakeup confidence of the audio data in the M pieces of audio data is not in the target zone, the audio data is not first audio data, and a first wakeup word may be contained therein, namely, the piece of audio data can be considered to be audio data under the normal wakeup of a device to be monitored.

In an application scenario where the target zone is a false wakeup threshold range, since the first audio data is audio data corresponding to a device to be monitored falsely waking up, the ratio of the first audio data to the M pieces of audio data can be determined as a false wakeup rate of the device to be monitored.

In practical applications, the false wakeup rate can be used as the evaluation criteria for product verification, for example, the higher the false wakeup rate of the device to be monitored, the worse the wakeup performance of the product is, and the product needs to be improved in terms of wakeup performance, while the lower the false wakeup rate of the device to be monitored, the better the wakeup performance of the product is.

In practical applications, the false wakeup rate can also verify the wakeup function of the product version, for example, when the product is developed, the device to be monitored embeds a new software version, in order to verify whether the software version has improved the wakeup performance, the false wakeup rate of the device to be monitored embedded with the new software version and the false wakeup rate of the device to be monitored embedded with the old software version can be compared, if the false wakeup rate has decreased, it means that the new software version has improved the wakeup performance, otherwise it needs to be improved.

In the present embodiment, by determining a first wakeup confidence of each piece of audio data in M pieces of audio devices of a device to be monitored; acquiring first audio data with a first wakeup confidence in a target zone in the M pieces of audio data, wherein the wakeup confidence in the target zone characterizes that the audio data does not contain a wakeup word for waking up an audio device; and determining a ratio of the first audio data to the M pieces of audio data as a false wakeup rate of the device to be monitored. In this way, the on-line audio data of the device to be monitored can be automatically and timely monitored with a high false wakeup rate, thereby improving the accuracy of the false wakeup rate monitoring. Also, it is possible to monitor a change in a false wakeup rate of each audio device on-line in large quantities and quickly.

Optionally, before the step S201, further comprising:

-   acquiring P pieces of audio data of N audio devices and an     annotation result of the P pieces of audio data, wherein the     annotation result indicates whether the audio data contains a second     wakeup word for waking up the audio devices, N is a positive     integer, and P is a positive integer greater than 1; -   determining a second wakeup confidence of each piece of the P pieces     of audio data; and -   counting an zone where a second wakeup confidence of second audio     data of which the ratio is greater than a pre-set threshold value in     the P pieces of audio data is located, and obtaining the target     zone, wherein the second audio data is the audio data with an     annotation result that characterizes it contains the audio data of     the second wakeup word.

In this embodiment, the target zone, which may be a false wake threshold range, may be determined by evaluating an zone of wake confidence when the audio data of each audio device on the line is false wake. That is, if most of the audio data of a plurality of audio devices does not contain a wakeup word for waking up the audio device within a certain zone of the wakeup confidence, it means that the audio data corresponding to the wakeup confidence within the zone is the data generated when the audio device wakes up erroneously.

Specifically, after determining the second wakeup confidence of each piece of audio data in the P pieces of audio data, the annotation result can be counted according to a scoring zone of the second wakeup confidence; if the audio data in the zone where the second wakeup confidence is located and the annotation result thereof indicates that the ratio of the audio data which is a false wakeup is greater than a pre-set threshold value, such as 95%, then the zone where the second wakeup confidence is located can be considered as a target zone, for example, the target zone can be less than 0.6, that is to say, it can be considered that the audio data corresponding to the second wakeup confidence of less than 0.6 are all data when the audio device wakes up erroneously.

It is also possible to determine a target zone as a false wake threshold range by counting an zone in which most audio data of each audio device on the line is a second wake confidence when the audio device is falsely awakened, so that the false wake rate of the device to be monitored can be automatically and unsupervisedly monitored.
